I've seen this YouTuber before. It's like a theatre technical crew got abandoned, but just kept making sets and props for plays that don't exist.

Something between diwhy and "oh that's neat."

The pages don't open far enough to read.

I know it's an art project and not meant to be practical, but it wouldn't have taken more than a bigger center spindle to solve the problem.

Martina said that if she could do it all over again, she would have wanted to create something that you could actually use to read the massive collection. But for now, it’s a beautiful testament to what you can create if you just let your imagination run wild.

I feel like this is probably something that happens with a lot of mechanical art projects. You sort of realize you should have treated it like an engineering project from the start too far in.
